You know how conservatives frequently say they dislike cats? It’s because cats can’t be trained. And misogyny (case in point: my father). They don’t like not having control. It often isn’t control they want, however, but instead abuse. Something to hit that won’t hit back.
That’s how aggression happens.
Case in point, I know someone in Texas who mentioned dogs breaking out a lot. They noted that many of them are pit bulls.
A person wants a strong, obedient dog that will get the bad guy. Does that, or does that not sound like a conservative?
Pit bulls are otherwise very loving family dogs, which seems to be genetic.
Wild take is one way to put it. I’ve known conservatives who do like cats. We should be careful here how we characterize, and not create some kind of false mythos. Like what’s next, conservatives don’t like cookies? They’ll run a bakery that won’t make a gay wedding cake, but yeah they probably still like fucking cookies.
From my experience? Absolutely. I have “family” elsewhere outright mean to their cat, just because they failed to raise him. I have an extremely close friend who has provided examples of many people (but particularly men) who hate cats, and cite reasons oddly aligned with misogyny.
Because that’s not how it works. You can breed for particular traits, as you mentioned, but behavioural characteristics (such as aggression) are more complex than simple genetic traits. You could breed two highly aggressive dogs together and get a placid dog as a result.
You’re talking about behavioural characteristics, not skills. Dogs don’t know how to fight without training any more than people know how to drive a car without lessons.
And as far as aggressive behaviour goes, pitbulls aren’t necessarily any more or less aggressive than other breeds. There have been lots of studies on aggression in dogs that show that breed is not a good predictor of behavioural tendencies (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9679229/).
The issue is people having bread them for fighting. What does conservatism have to do with cherished family pitbulls occasionaly killing babies?

Conservatives don’t like cats?
Conservatives dont like cats because they’re misogynistic is one of the more wild takes I’ve seen lmao.

Sounds sus to me.
I’m sorry if this is breaking character but I genuinely can’t tell if this is a bit or not.
That’s not how breeding works. Fighting dogs are trained to fight, they don’t just grow up with inbuilt knowledge.

Are you a breeder, dog trainer or dog handler?
